What’s the biggest buck you’ve ever seen and how big was he? Pictures and a story are welcome.
I live by AI, didn't go out this year. 30" and 200" were yearly.
Off the petting zoo,?
Far S. Utah.
On tighter trail, little bro ahead of me.me(he was 14 I was 16)Seen him just before he crossed in front of us.
Came in the open , broadside looking at us. I was stuck behind him with no shot.
Buck fever hit and he hit the mag release button on the front of his abolt trigger guard and open came the hinge and the mag hit the ground with a clank. Buck bolted into the junipers, I never saw him again.
Got back to the trailhead, me calling him ever name on the planet and met back up withy older cousin who had watched that buck all year. Can still hear "you jackasses just missed a 34" buck"
Told us later a local got him he was 228. Sent us a Polaroid to rub it in.
I can hear that "claaannkkk" as. I'm typing
What year was the Gov tag buck killed?Seen two in my life in Colorado that pushed the 250 mark… one of them was harvested with a gov tag the other died of old/age winter kill as far as we know.
2008 or 2009 if i remember correctly. He went 263 if I remember right. He was killed near the small municipal airport in Glenwood Springs.What year was the Gov tag buck killed?

Absolute tank. Couldn’t relocate him before opening day and another hunter got him. The deer fell off a cliff. When I finally got glass on him the hunter was holding his rack in pieces!
My buddy killed a 205 on the same mountainside a few years previous. Great genetics. Sadly, tags were increased for all seasons here and quality has really diminished.
That buck is something out of a dream! You should post up your buddies buck!View attachment 156055

Buck in your avatar?
Front view. He had big eye guards to go with everything else. This picture was taken a couple weeks before the one above. The velvet makes him look bigger than he was. Still a big deer.More pics chesterwyo? He’s giant!!!!!
The AI nontypical must’ve died?These are the biggest bucks I have ever seen.
the first one was killed during rifle season and went 227 hard horned. View attachment 156367View attachment 156368
Both of these bucks were enormous as well, the nontypical was over 230, and the typical went 209 if I remember correctly he was found as a dead head. The nontypical disappeared after this year to my knowledge.View attachment 156369View attachment 156370View attachment 156371View attachment 156372
I'm assuming, no sheds we're ever officially found off of him either.The AI nontypical must’ve died?

Forgot about this one. I believe it is the same buck that was in my yard last winter. Grew a few inches![]()
not where he Summers, but my house is 10 miles from there and most of it is private but huntableI assume he’s not huntable?
What’s the story on him?
I know you should never judge a buck going away, but dam that buck looks big.
The one just past him looks like a monster too.I know you should never judge a buck going away, but dam that buck looks big.
